CirceHere I am In front of the most Mightiest man alive, Odysseus, son of Laertes and the king of Ithaca. Odysseus, this wise man has opened my eyes to the trouble that I have caused people that sailed along my island of Aeaea. After committing such misfortune I decided that the time has come to change and ask for forgiveness. From the day that Odysseus held his sword against me as I attempted to transfer him into an animal like the rest of his men sadness came upon me.I thought to my self what pleasure does this bring me?It's true that I have been lonely and angry towards my past and the suffering that had lead me to take it out on every man on this earth. But I have to realize that what I have done ruined families.Even though I have been granted such power to turn humans into animals I should of used it wisely. From that moment I felt deeply in love with Odysseus that I freed his men and everyone that I transformed into animals out of their misery and back to their lives. I felt the need to pay them back in a way and that is keep them in my home until they are ready to continue their voyage that I later on warned Odysseus of. I know deep down in my heart that Odysseus' crew will most likely not survive but I also believe in Odysseus. He's a clever man and can find a way to rescue his men. I informed him of the dangers that he will encounter on the land of the dead and Scylla. Along with that I wish the best for Odysseus and hope he will once again return to his lovely wife Penelope and son Telemachus.Odysseus and I also have a family of our own, and that is our three beloved sons that I hope will turn out like their great father. But again I can not stand in the way of my dear Odysseus' happiness. His family have awaited too long for his return. Most importantly they need his help. Odysseus has to overtake the suitors that entered his home with out permission to marry his wife and to murder his son.This act can no longer be tolerated.
